Rail passengers have been given a reminder that Cardiff's main station will be swamped by football fans arriving for the play-off finals at the Millennium Stadium this weekend.

On Saturday afternoon, Swansea City take on Barnsley in the League One shoot-out, and the following day Grimsby Town face Cheltenham Town in the League Two final. Arriva Trains Wales has laid on 116 extra carriages for Swansea fans to travel to Cardiff.

'Anybody not travelling to or from the matches may want to plan their journey to avoid the busy periods immediately before and afterwards,' said Peter Northcott, the company's special events manager.
